Business & farm
When seeking advice from the appropriate professionals in your local area, there is one thing you what to address, as laws differ on this state to state, and "rules" differ between lenders.
Typically, when you purchase real estate and title it to an entity, such as you and your spouse, you may not be able to just go arbitrarily re-title the property to another entity without the written consent of the mortgage holder. Doing so could be a breach of your mortgage agreement and you could be risking the loan becoming "due and payable in full immediately". Some lenders won't allow you to just change the owners, because it would be more beneficial to them if you either sold the property to the other entity (even if you own that entity) or "refinanced" the loan to the other entity that is in the names of the original buyers.
Again, all this depends on state laws as well as requirements of the mortgage lender. So you'd want to discuss this with an RE professional, as well as a banking professional such as a loan officer or loan underwriter.
